Is this a coincidence that wheel manufacturers sell designs to multiple companies?... or just Holden wheels that happen to fit VW.

The PCD is the same on Commodore and Transporter, but the centre bore of the Holden is 1.8mm larger, and the offset 6mm shallower.

VW is 5x112

VW is 5x112

And VF is 5 x 120mm ?

 

So looks like the designer must have sold the design twice?

Well Col, you have given me a reason to like my VF Commodore a little bit less than I used to. I was starting to think that it was great to have an Aussie rim manufacturer selling their quality products overseas, and to the Germans no less. I wasn't sure which mob actually made them. Mullins? ROH? Speedy?  So I ripped one off the Commy and had a look at the back of it.  It was made by STW.........................................in Thailand.

Lots of VE and VF was made in Asia. It is assembled here using local and imported stuff. VZ was the last true Aussie made Holden that used mainly local suppliers as per all local GMH product to that time. Sure there was some imported content in a lot of it, but VZ to VE was a large step up in imported content.

A - you must be on the mend mate if you are ripping off wheels!!

B - I was happy to see the wheels, as I gutter rashed mine and thought that those wheels were not priced too badly. i.e. cheaper than if they were advertised as Holden wheels.
